I don't recall seeing any Goth-like folks when we were there in 2004, but don't think it would be out of line in Welly. Lots of stylish young people. Where's John Carman with local updates when you need them??

If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows.

Seems like there's an element down in Dunedin . If it's in evidence down there, there's every chance that it's alive and kicking in Wellie. There's a gothic/industrial nightclub in Wellie although I don't know if that's the same thing.

There are all sorts here. It is much like a smaller version of Brighton. Cuba Street is the place you want to look, you won't miss it.

Been in NZ since October 2001 and have a Kiwi daughter 4 and a HALF.

According to the law of the teenage daughter living in our house, Goths aren't the same here. Lauren says they are Emos here but they're not the same as the Emos in the UK or the Goths in the UK. Work that one out.

Passionate about the unfathomableness opportunities of kiwi-a-gogo-land

Neil might also find that those trends stop at the teenage years, so he could be a little old to go 'hang' with them

I don't think he intends to be doing that. i think he is more concerned about getting the type of clothes he likes. It is the style and music he is into rather than the whole culture- although he can do a pretty good job at being moody sometimes

He likes the black and the skulls etc and the pants with zips and buckles and laces etc and of course his beloved New Rock boots. If I can sneak a couple of pictures of him over the weekend i'll let you know what I mean.

Flights booked for 24th March 2008!
Landed in Wellington 26th March 2008!!
